“Justin house sat and watched our two dogs ( a Bernese and a Frenchie) for two weeks and was fantastic! This was the most time our dogs have been without us and it was important for us to have someone reliable watching them. Justin spent ample time with our dogs, took them on walks and was with them consistently without any extended gaps. Justin was very conscientious in our home and cleaned completely at the end of the stay (including the refrigerator!). I highly recommend Justin for pet sitting!”

“We cannot have more positive things to say about Theresa and her dog-sitting service! She spent two days and two nights in our apartment dog-sitting. She expertly handled our dog-reactive and separation-anxious dog, Luna, incorporating positive reinforcement training and spending lots of quality time her on walks and indoors. Luna adored her, evident from the numerous cuddling sessions captured in the delightful photo updates. Theresa's responsiveness to texts and flexibility with our travel plans made the entire experience stress-free. Theresa was also very kind to leave the apartment as we left it. Without a doubt, we'll be booking her exceptional services again in the future!”

“Siobhan watched my dog in my home for several nights and did a fantastic job! She was dog sitting during a bad snowstorm and went out of her way to shovel our walkway and get our dog out for a walk in the snow. She even graciously offered to stay longer should our flight back to Seattle get canceled due to the weather (luckily we made it home). We returned to a clean, warm home and happy dog. We’d love to have her stay with our dog again!”

“Thank you Karen for taking care of our kitties!!! So glad we found each other! Will book again very soon! I know they’d love to see ya again. 😻😻 Karen stayed over at our place while away. Was super engaged and so incredibly sweet with our kitties. She sent updates daily. And our kitties really bonded with her. Loved the darling cuddly photos we got every day. She left our place tidy and washed the beddings. Super smooth experience.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs all of my adult life - from nurturing my own fluff balls to taking care of my friends’, I’ve got you covered! I understand that each of them have their own personalities, preferences and quirks, and will work with you to make sure that they’re well taken care of while you’re away! I’m currently working remotely (east coast hours) in a laid back job, which gives me a lot of flexibility to take care of your pets. I also get done at 2pm everyday, giving me a lot of time in the evenings. Not offering stays in my apartment currently (so that both my pets and yours are safe!) Whether I’m caring for pets at my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment with plenty of enrichment and calm spaces for rest. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, keep doors securely closed, and double-check food, litter, and meds to avoid any mix-ups.

“Brent was absolutely fabulous! He took excellent care of our energetic Radar, making sure he got plenty of exercise, which was extra appreciated. He even helped Radar with some of his less desirable habits, like jumping and pulling on the leash during walks. Brent also left the house in wonderful shape. He was communicative, responsive, and kind. Will definitely be working with him again!”

I can tell she payed close attention to my long notes and appreciated Pixie for all her quirks and silliness. Pixie is shy with strangers and new places but she warmed up to Emily incredibly quickly. Would definitely book Emily again and recommend others do the same!”

About: https://www.rover.com/sit/kelseh91806 - $20 off ! ***Available for weekend and late afternoon and evening bookings*** I was raised with animals - big dogs and lots of cats, all of whom were a beloved part of my childhood. I am the first to say “pick me!” when a friend is in need for a pet-sitter. I feel very comfortable around animals and love to be in their company. Rover is an excellent way to spend time with animals and be active in my community. PROMO CODE : https://www.rover.com/sit/kelseh91806 I am currently working full-time 8:30 AM -3:30PM (Social Worker) and have great flexibility in my evenings and weekend days off - that’s my time for furry friends! Please feel free to inquire about my availability. I also keep my calendar in the app up-to-date. While I adore spending time with pets for fun, I am also mindful to treat caring for your pet as a job - I provide professionalism, timeliness, cleanliness and most importantly, communication to your preferred frequency. My landlord does not allow ownership of pets so I am unable to board them in our home. I do, however, live near a large and beautiful park and am happy to walk the pets there.

Corinn did a great job keeping my anxious dog company! He liked her right away and had a chill afternoon of walks and naps while I had to be out. I’ll absolutely be asking her to sit again next time!

Caty is amazing! She took care of my anxious dog and followed directions perfectly. He also ended up needing to take a new medication right before I was leaving for the weekend and she provided it to him without any issues. Caty also left the house how it was/cleaned up after herself which was really nice! My anxious and reactive dog loved her and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Justin was very communicative and took wonderful care of my senior dog! She was very blase about me coming home which means she must have gotten plenty of snuggles and treats while I was gone. He was also a good sport about my home being kind of a wreck due to being in the middle of redecorating. Would happily hire him again.

Lynn is an absolute pro. She stayed with our two dogs for two full weeks while we traveled abroad. She was communicative throughout and the dogs were well cared for. She also took excellent care of our home, including my houseplants and some new winter greens I’d planted in the yard. We love working with Lynn and will continue to do so whenever we can — highly recommend her to folks looking for an excellent sitter!!

Julie was absolutely amazing. She stepped up in a big way to dog sit our special needs collie with short notice. A consummate professional, Julie was able to understand our dog's needs and adapt to all of her quirks. Julie's videos and communications help me to feel comfortable as this was not only our first trip away from our dog but also our first time using Rover.

Danielle was great! We met her during the meet and greet and could immediately tell that she knows how to handle cats.

Chandler went above and beyond when she looked after our dog. Highly recommend. Great communicator, excellent attention to our dog, and a wonderful house guest! Our only fear in giving this good review is that she won’t be available next time we need a dog sitter. Wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.
